Most conflict research, and programmes of conflict resolution, prevention and mediation are driven by regional, national and international perspectives
At a fundamental level, conflict originates from people’s behaviour and how they interact with society and their environment
1. Rationale
![Page 4: Basic Microcon Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55856ca8d8b42a422c8b472c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Unanswered questions
Who are these people?
What do they do?
Why do they get affected by violence? In what way?
Are they part of the conflict? What led them into it?
![Page 5: Basic Microcon Presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/55856ca8d8b42a422c8b472c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. Main Purpose Advance the field of conflict analysis through micro level,
multidisciplinary approach
understanding individual and group interactions leading to and resulting from violent mass conflicts (full conflict cycle)
Better informed domestic, regional and international conflict policy, which places individuals and groups at the centre of interventions

A new conceptual framework
What does violent mass conflict mean at the micro level?
Who are the actors involved in violent mass conflicts?
Why do violent mass conflicts take place?
How do violent mass conflicts impact on individuals, their families and their social groups?
How can we build conceptual linkages between micro level perspectives on violent mass conflicts and policy-making processes?
